Freight, not parcel. Shipping is quoted per model and charged at checkout, and you see the exact figure before you pay.
When it ships. Stock across a range this size moves week to week, so we confirm the position for your model when you order rather than publishing an average that would be wrong for half the catalog.
How you will know. You get a tracking notification by email once your order ships. On a freight shipment the updates come from the carrier's own portal rather than standard UPS or FedEx tracking, so we include the carrier name, the PRO tracking number and a link to their tracking tool.
How it arrives. Palletized on an LTL carrier, or on a flat bed for the largest cabins. The carrier calls to arrange a window, someone must be there to sign, and delivery is to the curb. Pallets run up to 81 inches wide, so check the route from where a truck can stop to where the sauna will sit before you order.
Where it ships. Rates cover the contiguous 48 states. Canada is higher and set by SaunaLife, and Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are always quoted case by case, so contact us before ordering.
If it arrives damaged. Inspect every crate with the driver still there and write any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign. SaunaLife excludes damage that would have been visible on inspection, so a clean signature can cost you the claim. Call us from the driveway.
Two years, residential. Defects in workmanship under normal use, from the date you take delivery, to the original retail purchaser. Keep your receipt.
Repair or replace. SaunaLife chooses which, and may substitute a component of equivalent value. A replaced part carries the remaining term rather than starting a new one.
Not covered. Installation and delivery, normal wear, user damage, and the way wood behaves: knots, grain and tone differences, shrinkage, moderate deformation and weathering. Accessories carry one year. Cleaners, wax, paint and oils carry 60 days.
Residential only. Commercial use voids it, so call before you order if the sauna goes into a gym, spa, clinic or any other business and we will confirm the terms in writing.
The heater is separate. A SaunaLife sauna does not include a heater, so the heater, its control unit and its stones fall under that manufacturer's warranty.
Transport damage must be caught on delivery. Damage that would have been detectable by visual inspection before installation is excluded. Inspect the crates with the driver, write any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, and photograph everything before you move it. Once panels are assembled, a claim for damage that was visible beforehand is very hard to win.
Who handles it. We handle the claim with SaunaLife for you. Call (888) 500-5675 with your order number, photographs and a description of the fault.
30 days from purchase. The unit must be new, uninstalled and in resalable condition with its original crating and all included parts. Once panels have been screwed together, a tub has been filled or a stove has been fired, it counts as installed and cannot be returned.
What a return costs. A 20 percent restocking fee may be deducted from your refund on a standard customer return.
Who pays the freight. You do on a change of mind, and on a crated sauna that is a real number rather than a formality, so ask us for a figure before you commit. The freight you paid at checkout is not refunded either.
When it is our fault. If the cause is shipping damage or an error on our side, we and the distributor cover the return and nothing is deducted.
Damaged on arrival. A different process, and it is time sensitive. Note the damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, photograph the crates before you move anything, and call us the same day. Transit damage is resolved by replacement parts rather than by return.
Cancelling before it ships. No fee at all before we submit your order to the manufacturer. After we submit it but before it ships, an administrative fee of up to 5 percent may apply, and we waive it whenever we are not charged.
To start a return. Call (888) 500-5675. A Return Authorization number is required before anything goes back.
The SaunaLife EE6G is a Thermo-Spruce barrel sauna for up to 4, built in a day by two people
The Elegance barrel at its shorter length: a wider, taller circle with the whole front in glass. It arrives as numbered staves on one pallet, stands on its own cradles, and needs a level base, a heater package and a licensed electrician. Nothing else.
The ground
90.9 × 63
39.8 square feet. A barrel does not need a slab: it sits on cradles, so a level, well drained base is what it asks for.
The people
Up to 4
Four, in a barrel ten inches wider across than the standard Ergo. The interior is 87.4 inches across, so the bench sits where the barrel is widest and there is headroom to sit upright.
The power
8 to 9 kW
A heater package is a separate purchase, hard-wired on its own 240-volt circuit by an electrician. Each package carries its control and its stones.
Size and fit39.8 sq ft · up to 4
Inside the barrel
What 4 people actually get
A barrel puts the heat where you sit. The curve follows the air as it rises and comes back down, so the bench is warm along its whole length rather than only near the stones.
Inside the cabin
Interior
77.2 in across, 55 in deep
Interior height
7 ft 3 in at the centre line
Benches
Contoured Thermo-Aspen with an arched backrest, 21.3 in deep
Backrest
Arched, shaped to the barrel
Door
27.2 × 75.6 in, 8 mm tempered bronze glass
Floor
Two floor drains
Two facing benches, with the heater at the end.
Seating is on two facing benches, each running the full depth of the barrel. Four, in a barrel ten inches wider across than the standard Ergo.
What this length gives you
The Elegance is where the barrel itself changes. The circle is 87.4 inches across against the standard Ergo's 77.2, and the door is 27.2 by 75.6 inches rather than 23.2 by 66.5, so you walk in rather than step in. At 55 inches deep the EE6G is the shorter of the two, takes 39.8 square feet, and seats four in a barrel you can stand up straight in.
Finishes and optionsNatural or black
Which version
Natural or black
The two finishes
Natural
Arrives as bare Thermo-Spruce, ready to oil, stain or paint however you like. A bottle of paraffin oil is in the crate either way.
Black
The same barrel, plus black sauna paint in the crate, which you or your installer brush on once the staves are up.
The EE6G in black.
If you choose black
The paint travels in the crate rather than on the staves, and that is deliberate: a scuff shows far more on a black wall than on bare timber, and painting the barrel once it is standing lets you reach the stave ends and the band line. Keep what is left in the tin for touching up. Choosing black changes the look and the upkeep, nothing else: the same timber, the same benching, the same glass, the same heater range and the same warranty.
Heater and power8 to 9 kW · control and stones included
The decision that blocks the purchase
Choosing the heater for your EE6G
Two decisions, in this order: how many kilowatts, then which heater. For the EE6G that is 8 to 9 kW.
These are the ones we sell for it, and they are the ones behind the Add a heater and accessories button above Add to Cart. Each is a package: heater, control and stones together, so nothing is missing when the pallet arrives.
Whichever you choose, the heater is hard-wired onto its own 240-volt circuit. Your electrician sizes the breaker and the cable from the installation instructions for that heater and from your local code, and the length of the run from your panel is usually what decides the cost.
Running cost
Estimating what the EE6G costs to run
Buyers ask this in dollars, so here are worked examples with every input shown.
Example: one hour at full output
$1.10
6 kWh at 18.34 cents
Example: three hours a week
$14
Per month, at full output
Example: a year at three hours a week

52 weeks, at full output
These are worked examples, not a quote. They assume a 6 kW heater at rated output for every hour counted, at 18.34 cents per kilowatt-hour, the US residential average in the EIA's Electric Power Monthly for June 2026. Count heat-up in your hours; your own rate is on your bill.

Before you orderFive questions worth answering
Before you order
Five things to check before the EE6G ships
All of them are cheap to answer now and expensive to answer once a 1,600 lbs pallet is in your driveway.
Has your electrician seen your panel?The heater is hard-wired onto its own 240-volt circuit. Your electrician will tell you in one visit whether your panel has room.
How far is the barrel from the panel?The longer the run, the heavier the cable, and that is usually the biggest number in the electrical quote. Measure it before you ask for one.
Is the base level, and does it drain?The barrel sits on its own cradles, so you do not need a slab, but you do need level ground that sheds water. Gravel, pavers or a timber frame all work.
Will the pallet reach the spot?It is 90 × 44 × 44 in. Measure your gate and the route from the kerb to the base.
Does your town want a permit?Ask your building department whether the structure, the electrical work or both need one, and what setbacks apply to your lot.
Delivery and assemblyOne pallet, and a one-day build
On delivery
What to check when your SaunaLife EE6G is delivered
The kit arrives as one pallet, 90 × 44 × 44 in and 1,600 lbs, on a freight truck. Five minutes at the kerb protects the whole order.
Before delivery
Measure your gate and the route to the base against the 90 × 44 × 44 in pallet, and line up a second pair of hands.
At the truck
Photograph the pallet and note any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, then contact us the same day.
Before you build
Unbox everything and look it over before you start. Once a damaged part is installed it counts as accepted, so this is the moment to spot it.
Stock ships from Wheeling, Illinois to the contiguous 48. Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are quoted case by case.
Assembly
Building the SaunaLife EE6G
One day, two people. SaunaLife engineers the Ergo barrels for a DIY build and publishes that figure for them.
The staves arrive numbered and go up in order: cradles down and levelled, floor staves, then the wall staves course by course until the shell closes, then the bands drawn down evenly, then the door, the roof and the vents. Leave the band nuts loose until the barrel is closed, so the staves have room to settle.
If you would rather not build it yourself, professional setup and assembly is quoted for your address. Ask for a quote here and the form opens on this page.
Warranty and serviceWhat it covers, and who covers it
After the sale
Who stands behind the EE6G, and for how long
Two companies stand behind your sauna: SaunaLife for the barrel, and whoever made the heater for the heater. Both are written warranties, and between them your whole purchase is covered.
Who covers what
The barrel
SaunaLife, for two years, on defects in workmanship in residential use, from delivery to the original buyer
The heater and stones
The heater's own manufacturer, under its own warranty. Harvia, HUUM and Saunum each publish their own term
Residential use
SaunaLife's warranty applies to homes. A commercial installation is outside it, so talk to us first if the sauna is for a gym, a spa or a rental
Keep SaunaLife's warranty with your heater's, your delivery receipt and your electrician's invoice, and a claim takes one phone call instead of three.
How it is madeThermo-Spruce staves, steel bands
Construction
What the EE6G is made of
Full-length staves under two steel bands, with a shingled roof.
Full-length staves, not panels. Each stave runs the whole depth of the barrel, milled to lock into its neighbours. There is no frame and no cavity: the wall you touch inside is the wall you see outside, and the curve is what holds it rigid.
Timber that has been through the kiln, not the chemistry set. Thermal modification is heat and steam. It drives the moisture and resin out of the spruce, which is what leaves it stable outdoors and pleasant to lean against at 190°F.
Two stainless steel bands. AISI 430, 1-7/8 inches wide and an eighth of an inch thick, drawn down around the shell. They are what hold a barrel together, which is why they are the part SaunaLife over-specifies.
2 years on defects in workmanship, residential use
Compare the Ergo SeriesWhere the EE6G sits in the range
Sizing within the range
SaunaLife EE6G against the rest of the Ergo Series
The EE6G is one of them. All four put the whole front wall in glass. The two Ergo models are a 77.2 inch circle; the two Elegance models are a wider, taller barrel at 87.4 inches across, with a bigger door. So there are two decisions here, not one: which circle, and then which length.
Choose the EE6G when 39.8 square feet is what your ground allows and 4 is what your sessions actually are. Within this group, the EE8G is the same barrel fifteen inches deeper, and the standard Ergo circle is ten inches narrower. The same lengths are also built plain, or with a half-moon rear window instead.
Buyer questionsWhat buyers ask before ordering
Buyer questions
Questions buyers ask about the EE6G
What size heater does the SaunaLife EE6G need, and is one included?
8 to 9 kW, and no heater is included. Add one with the Add a heater and accessories button above Add to Cart. We sell four for the EE6G, from HUUM, Harvia and Saunum, and each package carries its control and its stones.
How long does the SaunaLife EE6G take to build?
One day, with two people. SaunaLife engineers the Ergo barrels for a DIY build and publishes that figure. The staves arrive numbered and go up course by course; the bands are drawn down once the shell is closed.
Does the EE6G need a concrete slab?
No. The barrel sits on its own cradles, so it needs level, well drained ground rather than a poured base. Gravel, pavers or a timber frame all work, as long as the cradles sit level and water runs away.
Is the SaunaLife EE6G insulated?
It is built from solid timber rather than insulated panels: full-length Thermo-Spruce staves, locked together by the curve of the barrel. There is nothing for you to add, and the wall thickness is what the heater sizing is based on.
Does the EE6G have a floor drain?
Two of them. The Ergo barrels have dual floor drains, which is what lets you throw water at the stones and rinse the floor afterwards without the water sitting under the benches.
What is the warranty on the SaunaLife EE6G?
SaunaLife covers the barrel for two years on defects in workmanship in residential use, from delivery to the original buyer. Your heater is covered by the company that made it, under its own warranty. Our SaunaLife warranty policy page has the full terms.
Can the EE6G stay outside all year?
Yes. The staves are thermally modified spruce, made for outdoor use, and a bottle of paraffin oil comes in the crate for the annual coat. Clear snow off the roof as you would any garden structure. Normal weathering of the timber is outside the warranty, which is what the oil is for.
